Shops, students, apartments and a strong willed community
Toowong, Brisbane (0-5km)
Toowong looks like an average suburb on the outside. But dig a bit deeper and you'll find it's a retail and commercial precinct with a history of strong willed residents. People who live here have always fought for what they believe. This place has increasingly become popular with Qld Uni students, and young professionals. In recent years, more apartments have been built to cater for the younger population. The cafe and pub scene here is good. There's a big cemetery and a fab community garden.
